Having put it off, we find this is one of the rare days the the Royal Palace is not open for visitors.
Touring the neighboring Almudena Cathedral, there's another Escriva statue.
Since Mass is about to start, we stay. Concelebrated by the Cardinal Archbishop with four auxiliaries and a dozen or more priests, with a dozen others assisting, with full choir, sung Gospel, homily delivered seated, and a standing room only crowd taking Communion, the Mass is still no longer than it is at our parish. Again afterward, there is a procession to kiss the statue of Baby Jesus.
Not many restaurants open, so we go to the Puerta del Sol for KFC to go. The customer behind us helps with the language barrier, telling us the girl at the counter is asking which kind of chicken we want. He relays that we want Original Recipe. She responds they only have Extra Crispy left.
